Fusion Challenge - French Cupcakes

Every time I look at this inspiration photo I want to go straight to the kitchen and bake up a storm. And then eat cupcakes till there is no tomorrow. They look so scrumptious!! I love all of the soft pastel colours in this photo, so decided to design with that in mind.

I decided to use my favourite metal die of the moment just one more time (I promise!!) to add some colour but also keep the card one layer. I used my flower punch to make my little flower to mirror the cupcake flowers. Such a sweet card, can imagine giving this to a little girl.

Metal window die from Pretty Pink Posh. Sentiment stamp from Altenew 'Sohcahtoa'. Sequins from Studio Calico and purchased from Papervine. The grey paper is from American Crafts 'My Girl', the pink paper from Echo Park 'Dots and Stripes' and light blue paper from Teresa Collins 'Save the Date'.

Curtain Call Challenge has a beautiful craft room/office photo for inspiration and a theme of 'Anything Goes'. I kept my colours to grey, light pink and light blue as in the photo, and also the rectangle die-cuts to mirror the storage boxes.

Simply Create Too Challenge # 66 has a theme of 'For a child' and I can so see a little girl loving this card. Right, that's enough of that. I'm off to start linking and then getting the kids in the car for a drive to the park. Not the warmest day today but its not raining, so will be good for them to run off some energy. Might make them sleep earlier, which means I can start making cards earlier.....fingers crossed!Take careShona

Hi Shona. LOVE the design with the window's filled with different colors of polka-dot papers (one of my favorites!). And the stitching detail around each one is so adorable too. Thanks for joining us at ATS&M.

Another really beautiful card, Shona! I love how you played with the window panes...all those pretty polka dots are so sweet! Everything is so perfectly placed on this card, especially those pretty sequins! Once again...Thanks so much for playing along with us at ATSM this week! Hope you'll come back again soon!

Shona...this is so pretty and your card looks just as yummy as those cupcakes do. I love the soft beautiful colors and what a wonderful design. I have to agree with Darnell's comments, this is a winner in my book as well. I love it. Good luck with making and eating those cupcakes and I hope you will post a few pictures of what you have made!
